Noted ad filmmaker Revathy Varma is reported to be all set to begin work on her upcoming feature film, the biopic of the famous Indian athlete, PT Usha. At this time in Indian cinema, we are getting to see many biopics of legendary sports personalities and PT Usha is next in line for the same. Revathy is known for directing the Jyothika and Khushboo starrer, June R.
Various reports suggested that Priyanka Chopra, who played Mary Kom in her biopic has been approached for this project and that AR Rahman will be composing the score for this film. We got in touch with the director Revathy to get an official confirmation on the same, and this is what she had to say. "Yes, we will be doing the biopic of PT Usha and AR Rahman will be scoring the music for the film, but it is not confirmed yet that Priyanka Chopra will be playing the lead."
This sure is some excellent news coming our way, after getting done with her international commitments, if Priyanka Chopra can essay this character, it is going to be a visual treat for film lovers. It is also to be noted that this film will be a multi-lingual project.
Yesterday, the Mersal team was spotted shooting some patch works at an IT park located near Thuraipakkam, Chennai. We were told that a Hospital scene was canned in yesterday's shoot.
Apparently, Vijay has completed his shoot and also dubbing work for the film. He is expected to take part in the 'poosanikai' ceremony which will take during the last day of the shoot.
Meanwhile, AR Rahman along with his Qutub-E-Kriba band has supposedly started work for Mersal's background score. The team is ostensibly thrilled to score the re-recording for a mass film like Mersal.
This news also comes in as a huge relief to Vijay and AR Rahman fans. AR Rahman as we know is extremely passionate with what he does and wouldn't like to compromise for the sake of a deadline. Now that Rahman has a solid 20-30 days time to work on the RR part, we could expect a fascinating final output from 'Isai Puyal'.
